Présentation de l'éditeur
The Romance of Wild Flotvers to awaken an interest in, and lead to a closer study of, the creatures described. Shells and their makers, of course, necessitated a different kind of treatment from that accorded to the wild flowers: but the authors plan of making his readers first acquainted with the outstanding characteristics of the prevailing types of structure as embodied in such familiar forms as the snail, the mussel, and the cuttle, will enable them to follow him throughout the further chapters. It is not pretended that this volume will enable the reader to determine the exact species of all the native mollusks that ma come under his notice; but it is hoped he may get from it an intelligent idea of the sub -kingdom so far as it is represented in these islands, and may be assisted in discriminating between most of those commonlj encountered in the woods and lanes, by the pond and stream, or along the seashore. Of the seven hundred and fifty species of Mollu.sca indigenous in the British Lslands and the adjacent seas, no le.ss than six hundred and fifty species have been briefly described in these pages.
